Another vote for the Beech Lane levelers, this will be our third season using them and they are easy to use and work very well. When I bought our set of two, I did not get the rubber mats with them but back then they were half the price of what they are selling for today.
I was concerned with the Beech Lane levelers “skidding” or “kicking out” when setting up, also I needed some additional leveling blocks for additional height and also under the tongue jack and stabilizers. What I bought, to solve these issues, is a horse stall mat that I purchased at Runnings, also they have them at Tractor Supply and other farm stores.
The mat was 4’ wide by 6’ long and ¾” thick tire rubber. I first cut it into 6 - 8” wide strips by 6’ long and kept one strip and then cut the remaining 5 strips into 8” squares giving me 45 leveling pads. The mat is heavy around a 100 lbs. but is a small fraction of the price of the “plastic blocks” and unlike the plastic the rubber has great grip and will never break.
The 6’ long strip works perfectly under the Beech Lane levelers especially on hard surfaces or ground with rocks or stones and unlike wood it can be rolled up. I once had to put two layers of the square pads under the strip and with the levelers gave me around 6” of lift, with more than enough pads left over for under the tongue jack and stabilizers.
Since our 2108DS has the 14” wheels, I did not have to cut off the end of the leveler used between the tires, with the 15” wheels on the newer Micro Minnies that leveler may have to be trimmed at the end as others have already mentioned.
Also, instead of the “anti-slip” tape that Beech Lane provided I used 4” wide 3M Safety Walk tape not only on the top of the levelers but also wrapped it around and attached it to the bottom of each of the levelers and it still looks new.
And of course you can use the rubber strip / pads alone to level with and the original stall mat is cheaper than other levelers.
